Those are water lines. The kit uses an air-to-water system for cooling the compressed air. There is a water filled heat exchanger inside the intake manifold.

Like Gforce said, they look to be threaded and therefore you should be able to change them out.

Just noticed that compared to the prototype pics...that oddly placed support bracket for the SC hot pipe is now gone. Or just not visible from those pics? Nice touch if so...

You are correct...We changed the charge pipe and removed the mounting bracket. There is still PLENTY of support when it's all bolted up.

Ah no kidding, makes since, apprently in my smashed up head I was thinking about a top mount blower, and my brain was thinking Supercharger instead of intake manifold. Of course you don't run friggin oil to the IM, lol.

I love the look of the SC but its too showy. I would get red flagged by the car control the moment they open the hood

you'll do the same with either kit, so its not really a big deal.

He was getting at the fact that you're still gonna get flagged regardless.

My shop quoted me 12 hours + 6 hours for clutch...

UPDATE: So we keep getting a lot of phone calls regarding the carbon fiber engine cover and I have to ask for some patience on this. It is going to happen, and it will happen soon, but it's not a priority at this time. The main test car is still being driven around and is involved in testing and I am not going to interfere with the R&D process just to make the engine cover. Fabrication of the engine cover will take a couple of weeks and I really don't want to shut everything down for a couple of weeks just to build the cover.

We will start working on it VERY soon but it's still a month or two away from going into production.

In regards to the video, I screwed up...I didn't put the microphone on the camera and it sounds TERRIBLE. There is static and background noise from the radio and the air compressor in the shop as well planes flying in the background (remember we're literally on the John Wayne Airport runway)...Josh has been nice enough to not say that I messed up but I did...We will re-do the video soon with the microphone attached and get everything squared away. Give me a few days to get that wrapped up.

In the meantime, perhaps some of the guys who went to the Cerritos meet last weekend could comment on the sound of the blower at idle?

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

mndthegap1 · 04-08-2010, 05:45 AM

the install time is between 10-12 hrs. my shop quoted me for 15 to be on the safe side.
my quote was $1275.
